Microsoft® Virtual Machine Converter (MVMC) is a Microsoft-supported,
stand-alone solution for the information technology (IT) pro or solution
provider who wants to convert virtual machines and disks from VMware
hosts to Hyper-V® hosts and Windows Azure™.

MVMC can be deployed with minimal dependencies. Because MVMC provides
native support for Windows PowerShell®, it enables scripting and
integration with data center automation workflows such as those authored
and run within Microsoft System Center Orchestrator 2012 R2. It can
also be invoked through the Windows PowerShell® command-line interface.
The solution is simple to download, install, and use. In addition to the
Windows PowerShell capability, MVMC provides a wizard-driven GUI to
facilitate virtual machine conversion.

New Features in MVMC 2.0
MVMC 2.0 release of MVMC includes the following new features:

Converts virtual disks that are attached to a VMware virtual machine
to virtual hard disks (VHDs) that can be uploaded to Windows Azure.

Provides native Windows PowerShell capability that enables scripting and integration into IT automation workflows.
Note The command-line interface (CLI) in MVMC 1.0 has been replaced by Windows PowerShell in MVMC 2.0.

Has a wizard-driven GUI, which simplifies performing virtual machine conversions.

Uninstalls VMware Tools before online conversion (online only) to
provide a clean way to migrate VMware-based virtual machines to Hyper-V.Important MVMC takes a snapshot of the virtual machine that you
are converting before you uninstall VMware Tools, and then shuts down
the source machine to preserve state during conversion. The virtual
machine is restored to its previous state after the source disks that
are attached to the virtual machine are successfully copied to the
machine where the conversion process is run. At that point, the source
machine in VMware can be turned on, if required.Important MVMC does not uninstall VMware Tools in an offline
conversion. Instead, it disables VMware services, drivers, and programs
only for Windows Server guest operating systems. For file conversions
with Linux guest operating systems, VMware Tools are not disabled or
uninstalled. We highly recommend that you manually uninstall VMware
Tools when you convert an offline virtual machine.

Supports Windows Server and Linux guest operating system conversion.

Machine Conversion” in this guide.
